Scariest Millennium Episode

[Guest Nemo Utopian]

What is the scariest MillenniuM episode?

Personally, I would have to say Lamentation, and the Pilot, Gehenna and Dead Letters

after that.

i went with a room with no view.i found somone murdering the human spirit rather then the body to be a level of evil worse hen normaly seen in this show.and that i think is saying somthing.

Unfortunately I can't vote for more than one episode. I think the episodes "Pilot", "Gehenna", "Lamentation" and "The Mikado" are the scariest episodes of all.

Maxx...good points indeed...it was just a few months ago that this was a news item worthy of coverage on page 22 of your local newspaper..progressively it has escalated until it now permeates the front page. What is particularily troublesome is that for the first time the winds of a possible outbreak here in the U.S. have just began to blow. What did Frank say? " A pre-storm, a breeze of an approaching hurricane'? Daily, the news reports brings the most frightening harbingers of things which may become reality very soon. Here is the latest info i found today which most certainly is not comforting at all..

From the Associated Press @ Breitbart.com

"The likelihood of a human flu pandemic is very high, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt warned Monday as he sought Southeast Asian cooperation to combat the spread of bird flu.

Leavitt and the director of the World Health Organization are touring Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam to seek their collaboration in preparing for the anticipated public health emergency linked to the H5N1 strain of the disease.

That strain has swept through poultry populations in many parts of Asia since 2003 and jumped to humans, killing 65 people, mostly through direct contact with sick fowl.

While there have been no known cases of person-to-person transmission, World Health Organization officials and other experts have been warning that the virus could mutate into a form that spreads easily among people. In a worst-case scenario, millions could die.

Three influenza pandemics have occurred over the last century and "the likelihood of another is very high, some say even certain," Leavitt said after meeting with Thai health officials to review the their preparations.

"Whether or not H5N1 is the virus that will ultimately trigger such a pandemic is unknown to us," he said at a news conference. "The probability is uncertain. But the warning signs are troubling. Hence we are responding in a robust way."

Leavitt's tour comes after President Bush last month established the "International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza" to coordinate a global strategy against bird flu and other types of influenza.

Leavitt said "containment" was the first line of defense against the illness, encouraging countries to step up development and production of vaccines and strengthen efforts to detect any cases of human transmission early.

Thai Public Health Minister Suchai Charoenratanakul said Thailand would contribute at least 5 percent of its antiviral drug supplies to a proposed Southeast Asian regional stockpile.

World Heath Organization Director General Dr. Lee Jong-wook said preparation was the key to preventing a flu epidemic such as the one that struck in 1918, killing an estimated 40 million to 50 million people.

"Now we know in advance what is happening and we have to prepare ourselves. That is our duty," he said.

Also Monday, Turkey and Romania slaughtered thousands of birds after both countries said they detected the disease, and the European Union and other countries banned the import of poultry from the two nations. Bird flu has not been confirmed by expert laboratories, however, and it is unknown whether the poultry deaths in either location involve the H5N1 strain.

Nonetheless, some 40,000 birds in eastern Romania were to be slaughtered in coming days, authorities said. "I think it's better to take these preventive measures now," even without confirmation of H5N1, Romanian Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu said Sunday.

Here also are a few other headlines culled from the daily news

Flooding in eastern states leaves 10 dead

Hundreds evacuate because of heavy rain

"This is the worst damage they've seen from flooding in 25 years in New Hampshire," the governor said Sunday night.

A 7.6-magnitude quake hit South Asia Saturday morning, destroyed towns, roads and power supplies from central Afghanistan to western Bangladesh. The death toll has soared past 30,000 and international organizations say hundreds of thousands of survivors are in need of shelter in the aftermath of the quake.

As for Thanksgiving, anyone hear of a tofu turkey?

P.S. - this just in...its all over the newswires - relax people, all is right with the world again. Brittney Spears just removed her bra from auction on Ebay for the 2nd time!!!!!!

The Fourth Horseman

Yep, I'm replying to this quite a bit after these things were discussed here, but certainly anything 'plague' related is VERY disturbing indeed! So, I'd have to chime in with 'The Fourth Horseman', etc.

Just a passing thought... Mr. Cheney just happens to be a MAJOR stockholder of the pharmaceudical company that just happens to make the vaccine for the Avian Flu; it's interesting to note that when the government ever 'mandates' vaccinations for children across the nation the pharmaceudical company that manufactures them stands to make 100's of millions of dollars.

Just a thought...

Oh, and by the way, the reason the bra was pulled from eBay is because we cut a private deal...

I like many episodes, the Pilot is an instant classic... I also like "The thin white Light", the way the killer disposes one by one of the agents and all that. “The Mikado”, “Lamentation” and “Gehenna” as well.

But the ones I like the most as of recent memory is involved, are "Via Dolorosa/Goodbye to all that". I really liked the character of Ed Cuffle, a lot, and I which the producers had given us an independent chapter (prior to the series/season closure) showing how Frank caught him and why the Group chose this man as an example to reengineer Lucas Barr's fragile psychology into a murderous sequel of Cuffle. (I’ve been thinking along the lines of using him as part of a project to use him and similar cases as Group assassins brutal enough not to draw any attention to their end)

I mean, think about it, here we have a strong nerdy looking guy who breaks into rich people's homes, drills holes through their heads, packs their mouths full of rice and fixes them into mundane compositions... how could one not like a guy like that?!

Boo-yah Karnos...well put...but still the episode that gets me is Gehenna. Catherine going to the window and seeing the shadow of "something" crossing in the outside security light, then going downstairs to close the drapes, all the while the camera angle is such that it appears that something is watching her from the cover of the bushes...i don't know why, but that sequence of scenes just chills my bones....a close second would be the scene between Frank and Lucy at the end of "Antipas"...

when i think of scariest is Antipas.........Sacrament......Seven and One and Gehenna

[Raven Wolf]

Gehenna is certainly one of the most horrifying!

[Guest MillenniumIsBliss]

Gehenna is certainly one of the most horrifying!

I agree, that was my vote as well, but "Lamentation" gives it a run for it's money. Another great contribution of Gehenana is the the "Green Mike" avatar which I have switched to in honor of the episode.

[Guest CJ450]

Hi All, i voted for Lamentation, although it was a tough choice.

Many scarey episodes - especially when you rewatch MM on dvd.

My vote was based on my first viewing of this episode (years ago) remembering the initial 'shock' reaction seeing the deamon !!

Yes, I think I hafta agree with you and MIB... Both episodes were pretty scary all right.

But, I think to me the ALL TIME most frightening episode was where Joe plays the cross-dressing Crack Hoe Serial Killer and... Wait a minute... I think I'm having a flashback from Nam... OH MY GOD!!! (soundz of choppers)

'CHARLIE'S IN THE LIGHT! CHARLIE'S IN THE LIGHT!!!'
